You are on alot of meds. why dont you google each one and research them out. Seems they might be conflicting against each other or the side effects of them,
Maybe you can find a dr that isnt a drug pusher and one that will help with the cause or more natural alternatives. then pushing drugs into you.

Wow, that's a lot of medicine.
It makes me wonder if some of them could be messing up others...
Also, keep in mind that some meds take time to get fully into the bloodstream (Lyrica, for example) and that it might help you but it might take a month to notice.
Do you ave a doctor (like a primary) that can help you sort this all out and keep track of what you're taking from all of the other drs to help make sure it's all safe together?
